This breakfast breakfast buddha bowl builds its flavor from cooked quinoa or rice, eggs and avocado, and comes together in about 55 minutes with medium-level technique. The method starts by if not already cooked.

Worth the 55 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.

A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.

Built around cooked quinoa or rice, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup roasted sweet potato cubes
  • 1 cup sauteed spinach

Method

1

If not already cooked, roast the sweet potato cubes with a little oil and salt at 425F/220C for 20-25 minutes until tender.

2

Saute the spinach in a little olive oil 1 minute until wilted; season with salt.

3

Fry or poach the eggs so the yolks stay a little runny.

4

Spoon the warm quinoa into a bowl as the base.

5

Arrange the sweet potato, spinach, avocado, and a spoon of hummus in sections on top.

6

Add the egg in the middle and scatter with pumpkin seeds.

7

Drizzle with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt, and pepper, and serve.
